John - thanks to your guidance. I think I'm on the right track. I
assume the ONLINE ACTIONS/GET TRANSACTIONS was actually grayed out as I
had not yet set up a userid/account. Working on that now.

Bennie,
Thanks, I've removed that part and modernized the rest of the intro a bit.

John - one other point of information to highlight how I would up where I am.
Looking at the URL: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect
I find the below - based on reading the below, I still come away thinking I
need to --enable-hbci. Based on your input, I'll trying installing AQBanking,
start GNUCash the usual way and see what happens.
Thanks again for the input
AqBanking
GnuCash now uses AqBanking as a means to handle connections to financial
institutions. GnuCash must be configured using --enable-hbci and --enable-ofx
in order for OFXDirectConnect to be available. Note: --enable-hbci is really
two things at once. It means --enable-aqbanking and --enable-hbci. Although
there isn't an --enable-aqbanking per se. But you need AqBanking for
DirectConnect, which is why you need to --enable-hbci.
AqBanking has its own setup wizard for the purpose of setting up account
identification and user login ID for your online connections. This page is
intended to document how to use this wizard to enable you to download data
directly from your bank or credit card company into the appropriate GnuCash
register.
You must have Libofx 0.8.2 or higher and AqBanking 2.0.0 or higher to user
OFXDirectConnect in Gnucash

What you read is clearly obsolete because `--enable-hbci` is for the autotools
build system that we don't use anymore. We now use cmake and AQBanking is
enabled by default if AQBanking is found.
Have you built GnuCash yourself from source?
Have you checked with
https://ofxhome.com
to make sure that your banks even support OFX DirectConnect? Be sure to check
the verification at the bottom, about 1/3 of the banks in there no longer
support it.

Hi John,
I'm trying to get direct downloads working from my bank/credit card companies.
In reading the info about GNUCash, I read that I need to --enable-hbci which
further indicated I need libofx and AQBanking. I'm researching sources as I
found multiple repositories with libofx in it when I google libofx.

John - thanks for the response. I was looking for libOFX as I thought it was
listed as a prerequisite (along with AQBanking) for direct connection to bank
accounts. Did I miss something on the pre-reqs?

I'm a new GNUCash user and would like to get OFXDirect working. Wondering where
most folks get LibOFX. SourceForge seems the most "official" looking but want
to feel more comfortable about the source of this library.
libofx doesn't support OFX DirectConnect. We use AQBanking for that.
That aside, Benoit isn't using SourceForge any more, he's moved the project to
Github:
https://github.com/libofx/libofx
It's a prerequisite for importing OFX files and unlike AQBanking it's not
optional.
What exactly do you want to do? Studying sources isn't normal user activity.
